what does it mean
to hold forever in your hands?
i hold my empty hands up to the light
looking for something that isn't there.
life seems to be like that,
always looking for what can't be found...
and i know that i'm lost, empty, alone...
so why do i feel like i'm going to be okay?
i look around me and all i see
is this darkness swallowing.
it's taking over me, and i'm gone.
a blink of an eye, so quick.
i once thought i was strong.
now i know i was weak.
i used to think i knew what love was.
now i know that it doesn't exist.
i glance again at my hands
and i see a single tear,
running down into the creases of my palm,
fading to dry air as the sun casts shadows.
i look to the sky
and the clouds gather,
and as i watch,
it begins to rain.
we need time
only time to figure this out
and it'll be okay you say.
but did you know that you lied?
where did that tear come from?
my eyes, i think not.
i haven't cried for a long time.
it's like i'm emotionless, empty.
but i notice that you watch,
that you see, and as i see you watching,
i see you hands, your arms, your lips.
those that i touched.
and i fade.
Please tell me what you think

you have such a soft, sadly emotive touch to your work. I love the way you wrap this poem up and take it to the ultimate place - and i fade. that's art!
